Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds chicken tenderloins
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 small onion, finely diced
- 2 teaspoons garlic, minced
- 1 cup (185 g) long-grain white rice, uncooked (do not use instant rice)
- 1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of chicken soup
- 2 cups (16 ounces) chicken broth
- ½ cup (119 g) heavy whipping cream
- Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Season the chicken tenderloins with paprika, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
- To the bottom of a 6 to 8-quart slow cooker, add the diced onion and garlic. Place the seasoned chicken on top.
- Sprinkle the uncooked long-grain white rice over the chicken. (Do not use instant rice; it will overcook in the slow cooker.)
- In a bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, and heavy cream until smooth. Pour the mixture evenly over the rice and chicken.
- Cover and cook on LOW for 3 to 4 hours, or until the rice is tender and the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Once fully cooked, shred the chicken and place it back into the slow cooker.
- Gently stir before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
